Meditation
What is Sahaja Yoga Meditation?
Sahaja Yoga is a simple meditation practice that begins with the experience of inner silence. “Sahaja” means spontaneous and “Yoga” means union. It is taught free of charge, without any special postures or prior experience.
Thoughtless awarenessMeditation is meant to quiet the mind so you can rest in a state of calm, focused awareness.
Kundalini awakeningSahaja Yoga is based on the spontaneous awakening of the Kundalini, an inner energy described in yogic tradition.
Free for everyoneClasses and guidance are offered without charge, online and at local centres.
Music & Meditation
Where Music Meets Meditation
Indian classical music and devotional songs have long been a path to stillness. In Sahaja Yoga, music is seen as a natural companion to meditation: a way to quiet the mind, open the heart and feel joy.
Listen into silenceWhen you are absorbed in a raga or a bhajan, thoughts begin to slow down. The pause between the notes is a taste of the inner silence that meditation aims for.
A gentle anchor for attentionThe steady beat of the tabla and the soft drone of the tanpura give the mind something calm to rest on, making it easier to settle.
Joy, shared togetherListening together fills a hall with a shared calm. That is why this festival brings music and the experience of meditation together.
Try it for one minuteSit comfortably, play a soft devotional or classical piece, close your eyes and simply listen. Let thoughts come and go, and notice the silence between the notes.
Founder
Who is Shri Mataji?
Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (1923–2011) was born in Chhindwara, India, and founded Sahaja Yoga in 1970. She spent her life teaching people around the world to experience meditation and inner peace, and she never charged for it. She believed music to be a beautiful way to feel joy and connect with the inner self, which is why this festival is held in her honour.
